Lovell (1825-1903) was a professional photographer. He came to Amherst in 1856 and established the Amherst Picture Gallery, the first photographic studio in Western Massachusetts. In addition to studio work, Lovell was interested in scientific photography, accompanying an Amherst College astronomical team to California in 1882, as well as photographing Connecticut Valley geological features. His photos provide the best visual documentation from the 1860s to the 1890s of the successive transitions Amherst made from an agricultural town, to an industrial one, and finally, to a town known chiefly for its educational institutions. Moreover, Lovell’s images provide the best visual available documentation of Emily Dickinson’s community. Early images of the Dickinson houses, the streets, shops, and businesses the family knew intimately – all are found within this very important collection. John L. Lovell Collection (ca. 1860s – ca. 1890s) can be seen in its entirety at the Jones Library. It includes negatives; 59 stereopticon views of Amherst; 40 cartes de visite; and 1200 prints. The collection includes the first surviving photos of Amherst. Subjects include Amherst and the Connecticut Valley, especially architecture, businesses, construction, etc. Biographical reviews in local newspapers of the day; advertisements for his business and other materials accompany the photographs. The cartes de visite are significant because of extensive collateral material in the manuscript collection. Still Image A static visual representation.

New York March y(?) 5th 1759. Sir I have received your letter of the 26th of February, since which date the Carpenters will undoubtedly have very soon arrived at Albany, as they were dispatched from hence at the intended time. I have advertised that the advance money for the Battoes men should be paid on the 20th of march instead of the 10th (something?) as you will see by the enclosed. The difference of time for the ox team drivers & waggoners is so small that I have made no alteration in that. As all the Persons who were to enter into this service are to send their names to you as by the first advertisements, I think it is better you should either send a proper Person or fix(?) on any one you may Lt Col Bradstreet D J(?) Master General know [page 2] know at or near the Towns where the advance pay is to be issued, who may be a proper Judge, and will take care that none may receive the advance pay but such as appear fit for the service, and of course are under the Captains who will have applyed to you, they are afterwards to be reviewed by proper officers at Albany. Captain Lowning(?) is at present employed in building whale Boats intended for the service of Troops in the Transport Ships. I would be prepared for every thing that the Situation of the Enemy and the numbers of His Majestys Troops which are to act this Campaign may put in my Power to attempt, I have named the 10th of April to press things forward as much as I can, and I would begin to act from the first moment that the season(?) will permit, at the same time I am to tell you in confidence that the time prescribed to me from England is the first of may, and as that will give you time for building Battoes at Albany, for any service that may be [page 3] hearafter thought proper to execute(?) by the Lake ontario, I shall be very glad that you will be prepared for it, as you will have the workmen with you. this will take off a very great expence that would be incurred in building them at Boston, Capt Lowning(?) may finish what he is about there, and then I think the sooner he comes to Albany the better. I have given a warrant to you on Mr Mortier(?) for £3000, that he may give you the necessary credit for paying the advance Pay to the Battoes men vea.(?) and as Mr. Normandy has acquainted me he waited for your orders, I send him to you with this which will be quicker than the Post, and give you time for sending proper People to the Towns where the Battoes Men yea(?) are to repair. The Purchases of oxen & Horses must yet remain some little time for no money is come, you will however be prepared and at a certainty where to have them when called for. I send you a copy of another advertisement I have though proper to [page 4] to publish, that the country people may not suffer through any Ignorance of not knowing where to apply Mr Mortier(?) has just now Lent me a Bill of exchange for £1000, and he will write to you and give you proper credit for the £2000 remaining of the warrant I have signed. The Draft for £1000 (something?) (something) currency is enclosed herewith. as I will not detain Mr. Normandy, but that he may set off directly I shall only write a few Lines to (something) General Gage.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Speed, John Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1676 Description An account of the resource This beautifully engraved and colored map represents an English version of the Jansson-Visscher series of maps of northeastern North America. Since it was published shortly after the expulsion of the Dutch from New York, the map displays geographical features similar to those found on its Dutch counterparts. However, the place names New Netherlands and New Amsterdam have been rechristened New York reflecting British control of the former Dutch colony. This map appeared in Thomas Basset and Richard Chiswell's 1676 edition of John Speed's world atlas, first published in 1627. (Description courtesy of Boston Public Library.)
